A 14mm sparkplug takes something like a 19mm spanner.

If you haven't got a decent range of spanners, now's a good time to buy a set Smile.

Quick tip on the subject of changing plugs. If you happen to have a bike that it is an absolute arse to change, then loosen the plug with the box spanner, then get a bit of rubber tubing - I found leftover scottoiler tubing was perfect. Push the tubing over the end and rotate. Do the opposite for installation.

Cheers

Dave

I just use the plug socket and spanner from the toolkit that comes with the bike. It can be a pain in the arse this way aswell but its better than using the plug wrench I use on my speedfight.
